As girls, we often run into minor inconveniences all the time because we lack the resources we need. For example, these inconveniences can be not having a hair tie on you or needing to get rid of a stain on your clothing. When these situations happen, it can cause your confidence to decrease and your anxiety to increase. Creating a girl emergency kit is a great way to manage these inconveniences and give yourself peace of mind. By having all your resources in one place, it becomes way easier to solve any small challenges you might face every day. All you need to begin is a makeup bag of any size you want. Below are some examples of what to put in your emergency kit.
